Acknowledgements

     I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the Hilldale Foundation and the Teaching & Learning with Technology Grant program which has funded this project. I wish to thank the staff at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Information Technology especially Michelle Glenetski and Alan Wolf. The efforts of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Botany Department staff members including Professor Linda Graham, Barbara Erlenborn, Tom Westaway, Laura Breunig, and Michael Clayton were greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank the staff in the UW-Madison Botany Department greenhouse; Mohammad Fayyaz, Mary Bauschelt, James Adams, and Patricia Wirth for growing and nurturing the beautiful plants that were the subjects of many of the photos.

     I especially wish to thank Rex Merrill who provided his expertise on plant morphology and Seth Price for his expertise in computer programming. My thanks go out to Greg Bean and Maria Spletter, colleagues who each made their own contributions to this project. I would like to thank Leyton Croxdale for permitting the project to move forward toward completion.

Sincerely,

Patricia M. Brack
